It won’t be long before working folks everywhere are taken with a bad case of spring fever. Then again, cold winter mornings can be a compelling reason for calling out at work too. So it’s a good time to make a list of handy excuses, and we’ve got you covered. Here then are 10 great phone-in excuses to skip work:
- You’ve been stuck out of town on an airline layover. This one requires some preparation. If weather isn’t a credible excuse, use the overbooked flight gambit. Pro tip: It also tends to lose a little something when you call the boss from your home phone.
- You and ten of your friends have score tickets to the Super Bowl. Hopefully those friends aren’t all co-workers, or else this one may be a bit tricky to pull off.
- It’s your kid’s birthday. What kind of heartless cad would deny an employee the opportunity to share this special day with their child? If you have to ask, you may want to skip this one.
- You’ve got a job interview with another company. It’s a great excuse alright, provided the interview [click to continue…]

Author Bio: Tonya is a senior at the University of Iowa double majoring in journalism and international studies. She frequently blogs at OnlineDatingSites.net and also maintains a persona blog at TonyaVrba.wordpress.com. Her drive and talent will soon propel her from college life to a career.
May 12, 2012 is when my world will be turned upside-down. That is the date of my graduation from the University of Iowa. During my time here I have many accomplishments including two majors (journalism and international studies) and a Certificate in Peace and Conflict Studies from my semester abroad.
Perhaps I should be excited. Compared to many others, I have significantly less college debt and a great amount of experience. Yet the inability for me to adequately predict my future upon graduation unnerves me. All my life I have been an academic. I love reading and learning. That’s part of what attracted me to journalism. For my whole life I can research and learn new things. There’s nothing better in my mind.
There are plenty of facts to back up my choice of major. The world of journalism is alive and well. The industry has always been dynamic and the dawn of internet, blogs and social media is certainly having its effect. As I get off on a challenging and dynamic environment, I am sure I chose the right major. Now it’s just a matter of working my way to the right career.
Businesses are catching on to the benefits of having a journalist on their team. While at a career fair last fall I walked up to [click to continue…]

Life can be as hard as you make it at times. YP CGT shares a poem about some of the trials and tribulations that he goes through in life. Even though the stacks are against him, he is ready for a change, and his own personal ‘revolution’.
Tired Of…
Doing nothing…
Overlooking things..
Not speaking up…
Being half azzed..
Being Judged so quickly..
expecting me to do as they want…
people thinking i need them…
watching myself be stagnant…
being taken for granted…
being lazy ..
being unorganized..
being left behind…
being looked down at..
Not living to my full potential..
Not being stable with one’s self…
writing about what i should change….tired of talking about making moves…
it’s time 4 my Revolution…
